1/5
Me and my mate went into Asda to get some water. For some reason it was so hard to navigate this shop. It took us around 10 minutes to get a bottle of water each - we asked multiple different colleagues and many were very unhelpful because they kept on leading us to different areas that didn’t have water or referencing item locations we weren’t even aware of - e.g. “by the sandwiches”. I’m sorry but I’m not an Asda colleague myself therefore I don’t know the geography of Asda Isles. After this exhausting expedition, I decided to treat myself to a hello Kitty keychain, and when we finally get to the checkout, after walking around the whole circumference of the store to find us some water, suddenly my hello Kitty keychain would not scan and I had to press the call for assistance button six times and even there was multiple colleagues around me none of them proceeded to help me. Right in front of the checkout there was a large group of Asda workers having a small mothers meeting and although my till light was flashing red, nobody came to help me! There was even an older woman working that went up to the couple opposite us and assisted them with help but even after pressing this for assistance button six times I then started to get really angry so I just started waving my arms around and somebody finally came to my rescue. Rescue is not the word I’d use though for this appalling hospitality. A woman in her early 20s helped me with my issue for my keychain not scanning through and that was quick speedy but I’m still unsatisfied with my visit at the Melksham Asda. The best part of this visit were the toilets. They clearly put more budget into the toilet revamp than their hiring management team.
